Toenail Surgery (Partial Nail Avulsion)
A permanent, gentle minor in-clinic surgical solution for chronic, recurring, or severely painful ingrown toenails performed under local anesthesia.
What is this Clinical Treatment?
Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA) with chemical matrixectomy is the gold-standard permanent treatment for chronic ingrown toenails. Performed in our sterile clinical room under local anesthesia, only a narrow sliver of the problematic nail border is removed and treated with phenol to prevent it from ever growing back into the skin.
Clinical Indications: Who Benefits?
- • Patients with recurrent or infected ingrown toenails that fail conservative care
- • Severely curved (involuted) nails that pinch and cause persistent pain
- • Active individuals and students needing a fast, permanent solution with minimal downtime
